GravatarHOLY JESUS FUCKING CHRIST CAN THERE BE ANYTHING STUPIDER THAN A NO-KNOCK WARRANT? That was actually our first reaction when we first heard if it. Of course anyone who just bursts into anyone else's house is risking getting their head blown off, cop or not. This is sacrificing a few low-level cops so that you can have an excuse to summarily execute. It is a major policy step toward general brutality.


GravatarHmm, a few minutes ago the wife asked if we could go see Casino Royale again.

I suspect that it is not for the plotline.


GravatarI menbtioned this somewhere else earlier. Would like to bring it up again.

I propose a moratorium on the phrase "sectarian strife", be it in Iraq, Lebanon, Ireland, or anywhere else.

Instead, I propose we call them "religious wars". It will piss off the wingnut wack-o fund-os more.

Gravatarwhiskeyina, I tried to answer in the last thread, but haloscum got all trolly. I've met Ray Mason, but never heard him. I played the Horse several times, and hung out at Packard's after the shows, also did a few jazz gigs in town years ago. My wife and I take occasional shopping trips, and I always snag something cool at the little record store downstairs. A couple of weeks ago I found a Japanese CD reissue of one of my favorite Dizzy gillespie small group records, a great find, and $10! My brother lives in southern VT, so we often meet halway in NoHo, as he calls it. I really enjoy it, but I'm a lefty.

GravatarI did read that headline that Exxon was snuffing out global warming information in science classes that receive funding from them...

Science a la Joe Camel
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ wp...2400789_pf.html
The producers of former vice president Al Gore's film about global warming, myself included, certainly agreed. So the company that made the documentary decided to offer 50,000 free DVDs to the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) for educators to use in their classrooms. It seemed like a no-brainer.

The teachers had a different idea: Thanks but no thanks, they said.

In their e-mail rejection, they expressed concern that other "special interests" might ask to distribute materials, too; they said they didn't want to offer "political" endorsement of the film; and they saw "little, if any, benefit to NSTA or its members" in accepting the free DVDs.

Gore, however, is not running for office, and the film's theatrical run is long since over. As for classroom benefits, the movie has been enthusiastically endorsed by leading climate scientists worldwide, and is required viewing for all students in Norway and Sweden.

Still, maybe the NSTA just being extra cautious. But there was one more curious argument in the e-mail: Accepting the DVDs, they wrote, would place "unnecessary risk upon the [NSTA] capital campaign, especially certain targeted supporters." One of those supporters, it turns out, is the Exxon Mobil Corp.

That's the same Exxon Mobil that for more than a decade has done everything possible to muddle public understanding of global warming and stifle any serious effort to solve it. It has run ads in leading newspapers (including this one) questioning the role of manmade emissions in global warming, and financed the work of a small band of scientific skeptics who have tried to challenge the consensus that heat-trapping pollution is drastically altering our atmosphere. The company spends millions to support groups such as the Competitive Enterprise Institute that aggressively pressure lawmakers to oppose emission limits.

GravatarSeveral upper-class Venezuelans are spontaneously organizing against the empowering socialist government of Hugo Chavez in the hope of replacing it with true repression. Of course, they've done this before, and they've gone further and failed. Fake protests are very much a part of the American machinery of government overthrow, and were used before Pinochet's coup to give the appearance of legitimacy. You can usually tell what matters by whether or not the infallible media reports it (compare the truly massive AMLO protests which shut down the Mexican capital).

Gravatar"The White House has begun closing the Enviromental Protection Agency's research libraries to the public and to its own staff, cementing Bush's reputation as usher of a new dark age.

It never got down to actual book-burning, but the Republican choke-hold on government would clearly have taken us there. In August, under the guise of fiscal responsibility, the Bush Environmental Protection Agency began closing most of its research libraries, both to the public and to its own staff.

The EPA's professional staff objected strongly, insisting that closing the libraries would hamstring them in their jobs. In a letter to Congress protesting the closures, public employees said, "We believe that this budget cut is just one of many Bush administration initiatives to reduce the effectiveness of the US Environmental Protection Agency, and to continue to demoralize its employees.""

GravatarHas anyone read Jeff Sharlet's article on American fundies in the recent Harper's? They used to focus on revising Science to reflect their Creationist hallucinations. Now the target is history. They have two kinds of time that they believe in "kairos" which is 'God's time' and "chronos" which is the measure of time by mortals like us here on earth. All of history is re-written to show that America is actually the promised land pre-ordained by God. We are the Crown of Creation. It's called "Heritage Studies".

I'm so intersted in denying it because it...ummmm...just happens to be the truth??..

...just looky here at what I found at several NASA web sites..

..they must be really smart...cuz they agree with me:


Global temperature measurements of the Earth's lower atmosphere obtained from satellites reveal no definitive warming trend over the past two decades. The slight trend that is in the data actually appears to be downward. The largest fluctuations in the satellite temperature data are not from any man-made activity, but from natural phenomena such as large volcanic eruptions from Mt. Pinatubo, and from El Nińo. So the programs which model global warming in a computer say the temperature of the Earth's lower atmosphere should be going up markedly, but actual measurements of the temperature of the lower atmosphere reveal no such pronounced activity

GravatarSo....why'd we attack Iraq then?
ellroon, hair afire

Because of the convergence of different parties governing America who saw various reasons to destroy the Iraqi state altogether, devastate its people on a near-genocidal level, wipe out its ability to function and divide its territory. Israel decided to do so through the US in the nineteen seventies and had a perfect opportunity to now, after past rejections or obstacles. American militarists saw it as an easy victory. Capitalism, which in its supposed proprietary nation has been reduced to a perversion of socialism in the military industrial complex, saw obscene short-term profits. The Iranians helped (and the hapless Bush team of crony hacks saw no reason to be suspicious of this) for roughly the same reason Israel initiated it, to remove the greatest regional threat. Or if the Official Version is to be believed, because Saddam might have been developing the capacity to produce weapons other countries already have without a peep from us. (The oil is a distraction; the oil companies were resolutely against it and China can get the oil we denied it from elsewhere.)

GravatarSometimes I think that we attacked Iraq for the simple reason that we let the neocons live in their own weird world all unmolested, thinking that their idiocies don't matter as they are not in power. And in that world Iraq was a great failure of papa Bush, a great shame and an affront to the all-American penis. These people sat around and made up this story of vengeance and great victory and the minute they were handed the keys by baby Bush, off they went.

It had to do with oil, too, and various other things, but mostly it was because these nutters were allowed to build an alternative reality. And we must never let that happen again.

....

The resignation came as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was preparing to review its policies for communicating science to the public. The review was ordered Friday by Michael D. Griffin, the NASA administrator, after a week in which many agency scientists and midlevel public affairs officials described to The New York Times instances in which they said political pressure was applied to limit or flavor discussions of topics uncomfortable to the Bush administration, particularly global warming.

Published: November 24, 2006 11:35 PM ET

NEW YORK With a timely reference to the rise and fall of the O.J. Simpson tell-some book (and what she's calls the "Thanksgiving Day Massacre" in Iraq) Maureen Dowd in her Saturday column for The New York Times suggests that President Bush go on Fox News and declare, "IF I did it -- here’s how the civil war in Iraq happened.”

Bush, she writes, "could describe, hypothetically, a series of naďve, arrogant and self-defeating blunders, including his team’s failure to comprehend that in the Arab world, revenge and religious zealotry can be stronger compulsions than democracy and prosperity." Is she suggesting that Bush, like O.J., has gotten away with murder?

Gravatarnasa (current post):

Perhaps all this attention is deserved. With the possible exception of another world war, a giant asteroid, or an incurable plague, global warming may be the single largest threat to our planet. For decades human factories and cars have spewed billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and the climate has begun to show some signs of warming.

Expect a Warmer, Wetter World this Century, Computer Models Agree

October 19, 2006

BOULDER—Recent episodes of deadly heat in the United States and Europe, long dry spells across the U.S. West, and heavy bursts of rain and snow across much of North America and Eurasia hint at longer-term changes to come, according to a new study based on several of the world's most advanced climate models. Much of the world will face an enhanced risk of heat waves, intense precipitation, and other weather extremes, conclude scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Texas Tech University, and Australia's Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre.

Many previous studies have looked at how average temperature or rainfall might change in the next century as greenhouse gases increase. However, the new research looks more specifically at how weather extremes could change.

"It's the extremes, not the averages, that cause the most damage to society and to many ecosystems," says NCAR scientist Claudia Tebaldi, lead author for the report. "We now have the first model-based consensus on how the risk of dangerous heat waves, intense rains, and other kinds of extreme weather will change in the next century."

The study is one of the first analyses to draw on extensive and sophisticated computer modeling recently carried out for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change...

For all three greenhouse-gas scenarios, the models agree that by 2080-2099:

* The number of extremely warm nights and the length of heat waves will increase significantly over nearly all land areas across the globe. During heat waves, very warm nights are often associated with fatalities because people and buildings have less chance to cool down overnight.

* Most areas above about 40 degrees north will see a significant jump in the number of days with heavy precipitation (days with more than 0.40 inches). This includes the northern tier of U.S. states, Canada, and most of Europe.

* Dry spells could lengthen significantly across the western United States, southern Europe, eastern Brazil, and several other areas. Dry spells are one of several factors in producing and intensifying droughts.

* The average growing season could increase significantly across most of North America and Eurasia.

Ah, I hate to differ. There is a difference between burning something properly so it doesn't let "pollutants" go up the smokestack (technology fixes that) and burning fossil fuels in a way that doesn't emit CO2. There ain't no technology that can stop that. That's why the fossil fuel companies will do ANYTHING to prevent people from understanding the global warming dilemna we face.


GravatarIn any case, the question about the size of population earth can manage and the question about environmental degradation are linked. If, as seems likely, the Chinese and the Indians and ultimately everyone else, too, will want the kind of standard of living we have, then the only feasible way I can see of getting there is to reduce the total population in the future.

Otherwise we will live in a horrible human labyrinth with nothing else in it except agrifirm fields of genetically created species.

GravatarIncreased violence in Iraq can be directly attributed to the Democrat victories 2 weeks ago in Congress. The insurgents now know that President Bush will be undercut at every opportunity by the Democrat Congress and that the insurgency now has a real chance at victory if Democrat Party does not stay the course. The terrorists now assume we will cut and run under the Pelosi Democrat Party. Fred Barnes summed up this very thesis tonight on Fox News "The Beltway Boys" with Mort Kondracke in full agreement and Kondracke calls them straight down the middle, he is not a right wing zealot, as some on the left accuse Barnes of being.


Gravatar"Voting experts say it is impossible to say how many votes were not counted that should have been. But in Florida alone, the discrepancies reported across Sarasota County and three others amount to more than 60,000 votes. In Colorado, as many as 20,000 people gave up trying to vote, election officials say, as new online systems for verifying voter registrations crashed repeatedly. And in Arkansas, election officials tallied votes three times in one county, and each time the number of ballots cast changed by more than 30,000."

In early April.

"No", says lj, nothing will go wrong, there is no global warming, I'll do it.

GravatarSo jeenyus why has the dollar devalued as compared to the euro?


GravatarHow old was she when she shot this film? All of 24?

33 actually. She always played younger than her actual age.

She died at 60.

GravatarI did? how SILLY of me! Well, I know I've got an overview around here somewhere that shows just how fucking awesome 2006's economy is. Hold on...oh, sorry, the Very Important Football game is over, so I need to go to bed.

Well, I hope you all learned something tonight.

Black Adam

Unka Scrooge! and the special dime!


GravatarTKK, story of my life. My wife is 1/8 Chippewa. That ain't much good either. My father in law is 1/4 but unable to prove his heritage because the family tended to travel back and forth between the USA and Canada. (His name, Gillmer, is a derivation of the French Gilmour. His grandmother was named Smoke.)

It's still in the experimental phase. They'll figure out which one works best, and then stick to it.


Gravatar Black Adam is a troll.

Actually, a half-elf.



GravatarNtodd, why don't you invite the trollz back to your place?

They've always had an open invite. Apparently my refusal to serve Cheetos is a real barrier to entry.


GravatarSending to grandmothers would work, but we should first send the most infirm. That way health care costs will go down more rapidly, too.

GravatarBlack Adam is an Inuit-fucking half-elf half-orc with a penchant for double-dipping his chips. BASTARD.


GravatarI have a competing theory: the rise in violence is directly correlated to the rise in global temps.
NTodd, Pithy Pixie

My theorem states that it is related to the rising freqs of mother earth


Gravatarthe rise in violence in Iraq is in direct correlation to the cowardice of the leadership in the green zone. bush's handpicked failures have lost this war, and truthfully the dems can do nothing about it except try to save some American lives by getting the fuck out. even throwing rummy under the bus didn't help, because there's nobody in the reNAMBLAcan ranks to replace him that's any better. Top to bottom incompetence and treason. history will have a field day.

GravatarOh shit, yes, Echidne, I did. I thought I'd written back saying 'thanks!' So, uh...THANKS!

One of them could be downtown Waterville from the era when Colby was down the hill. The others prolly are Oxford or Cambridge or whatever you said.

Regardless, they are wicked cool. I'd love to see more, but don't knock yourself out.

*mwah*


GravatarWe knew a number of marines with asthma, drug waivers, and a few who supposedly had disorders involving seizures that really should've gotten them out altogether.


GravatarRonjazz, stop being ambiguous and tell us what you REALLY think.


GravatarIs Black Adam Irish?


GravatarYesterday I was struck this terrible feeling of kindness, and I started planning knitting sweaters for all and sundry Atriots. Then I lay down for a while and it passed. A close call, though.

ellroon, hair afire | Homepage | 11.25.06 - 11:59 pm | #


Only after the second drink.



GravatarI always get the titles mixed up.

"Holiday Inn" is with Fred Astaire; "White Christmas" has Danny Kaye.


GravatarIs Black Adam Irish?

Now why on earth would a Mick fuck an Eskimo?

And why all of a sudden am I remined of Full Metal Jacket...?


GravatarFrom Josh Marshall regarding the self-funding insurgency in U.S.-occupied Iraq:

For instance, one of the secret report's more surprising conclusions, according to The Times, is "that terrorist and insurgent groups in Iraq may have surplus funds with which to support other terrorist organizations outside of Iraq.” It seems counterintuitive that the armed Shiite and Sunni militias battling for control of Iraq would be financing terrorists outside of Iraq while the battle inside of Iraq still hangs in the balance.

In fairness, The Times makes clear that the secret report may be flawed: "Some terrorism experts outside the government who were given an outline of the report by The Times, criticized it for a lack of precision and a reliance on speculation."

Good to go then, eh?


GravatarWhen is it going to snow in this fucking movie?

The last scene.


GravatarYesterday I was struck this terrible feeling of kindness, and I started planning knitting sweaters for all and sundry Atriots. Then I lay down for a while and it passed. A close call, though.

Oh, thank goodness. It's too hot here to wear a sweater.


GravatarActually, I'm hoping Hastings gets his chair. He has a lot of revenge coming, and this group needs to be clubbed into full submission. Hastings would be great, having nothing to lose. Then turn Conyers and the rest loose, with Nancy holding the house in session forever, and the list of ReNAMBLAcan felons would be never-ending. Spring will be great this year.

GravatarI don't know but I've been told
Pantsless in Vermont gets mighty cold.


GravatarI'd think twice before pissing Black Adam off.

Known Powers: Black Adam can switch to Theo Adam's body by saying SHAZAM. He possesses:

S for the Stamina of Shu: Using Shu's endurance, Black Adam can withstand and survive most types of extreme physical assaults. Additonally, he does not need to eat or breathe and can survive unaided in space. (Superhuman Endurance, Internal Sustenance)

H for the Swiftness of Heru: By channeling Heru's speed, Black Adam can fly and steadily run at a top speed of Mach 500. (Supersonic Speed & Flight)

A for the Strength of Amon: Black Adam has a phenomonal level of super strength, able to easily bend steel, punch through walls and lift massive objects. Adam's strength is enough that he can hold his own against beings such as Superman or Captain Marvel. (Superhuman Strength)

Z for the Wisdom of Zehuti: Black Adam has instant access to a vast level of scholarly knowledge. The wisdom of Zehuti also gives Adam clairvoyance and provides him with counsel and advice in times of need. (Superhuman Knowledge, Clairvoyance)

A for the Power of Aton: Aton's power, besides fueling the magic thunderbolt that transforms Adam, also enhances Adam's other physical abilities and allows for interdimensional travel. Adam can use the lightning bolt as a weapon by dodging it and allowing it to strike an opponent or target. (Physical Enhancement, Interdimensional Travel)

M for the Courage of Mehen: This aspect is partly psychological, and gives Adam superhuman amounts of inner strength to draw off of, while also making him indestructable to harm like the great snake itself. (Superhuman Inner Strength, Invulnerability)


Gravatar"But Shazam, aren't there legally questionable similarities between myself and a certain more famous dark-haired flying caped superhero?"
"Damn your ingratitude! Now I must start all over and defame your memory in the official histories!"


I'm not saying that old wizard whose name I won't say was prejudiced, but he always wanted me to dance and kept rubbing my hair for "good luck".



GravatarWhen is it going to snow in this fucking movie?
fourlegsgood, plushynurse

When NTodd stops talking about global warming, it's his fault!


GravatarI wish it would snow here.


GravatarOh, thank goodness. It's too hot here to wear a sweater.

I was planning a linen one for you. With Fair Isle motives of running cats across the chest and no sleeves. A slipover, it's called.

The problem with my plans is that they get ever more grandious and when I actually have to carry them out it takes years. So I usually just give money.

One year I made pin cushions with needlepoint with bees and needles and lions and a dodo bird and some French lilies, all designed to match the owner's personality and hobbies, and it took me almost all my free time. Then I get grumpy and hate people.


GravatarYesterday I was struck this terrible feeling of kindness, and I started planning knitting sweaters for all and sundry Atriots.

Your gloat raneth over.


GravatarQuick question: I'm having problems with javascript...for example, I can't open java links on websites. Can one of the resident geeks (meaning: anyone who knows more about computers than me, i.e. everyone) recommend a fix?


GravatarKenosha, did you get your hat? Howdy!

Yeah, I'm a bit bloodthirsty. ReNAMBLAcans have been the bane of my existence for most of my life. Once, in a fit of bipartisanship, i voted for one. Motherfucker was in jail not 8 weeks after the election, no shit. They aren't fit to puke on.

GravatarKnown Powers: Black Adam can switch to Theo Adam's body by saying SHAZAM. He possesses:

Between you and me, Zehuti wasn't all that smart. He graduated from the equivalent of Liberty University of Ancient Egypt. I'd keep trying to access his magnificent "knowledge" in a fight with Marvel, and all I'd get would be ancient verses about how Ra was going to smite the unbelievers.



Gravatar4lg,

supposed to go from fifty and sunny to 20 and snow between Wednesday and Thursday this week.

I still like the pristine whiteness of snow. It covers a multitude of sins: but as I get older, I like it less and less.

and Echidne, I could have used a sweater.



GravatarI didn't get the hat back, though those Liberal Mountain people certainly had the opportunity this morning.


GravatarThor is the best superhero.


GravatarNot that the current crop of centrist cowards are much better, mind you. Al Gore had better run again; he owes us for fucking up the first time. And I hope a truck has Lieberman's name on the grill.


Gravatarand Echidne, I could have used a sweater.

Yours would have been in all sorts of colors in the background, with rows of the word "word" in all languages of the world, going around and around.

I'm nuts.

Gravatar More good news from Iraq:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Followers of the militant Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr took over state-run television Saturday to denounce the Iraqi government, label Sunnis "terrorists" and issue what appeared to many viewers as a call to arms.

The two-hour broadcast from a community gathering in the heart of the Shiite militia stronghold of Sadr City included three members of al-Sadr's parliamentary bloc, who took questions from outraged residents demanding revenge for a series of car bombings that killed some 200 people Thursday.

With Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki relegated to the sidelines, brazen Sunni-Shiite attacks continue unchecked despite a 24-hour curfew over Baghdad. Al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia now controls wide swaths of the capital, his politicians are the backbone of the Cabinet, and his followers deeply entrenched in the Iraqi security forces. Sectarian violence has spun so rapidly out of control since the Sadr City blasts, however, that it's not clear whether even al-Sadr has the authority - or the will - to stop the cycle of bloodshed.

Started early at brunch, or as we called it ESCHACON III: THE DESTRUCTION OF JARED SYN. Your name came up over bagels and cookies with some of the gang.

Then went downtown to quaff elitist chardonnay. A fun day, all in all.

How was yours?

McClatchy Newspapers

"Followers of the militant Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr took over state-run television Saturday to denounce the Iraqi government, label Sunnis "terrorists" and issue what appeared to many viewers as a call to arms."

This is as ominous a development as anything I recall since the invasion of Iraq. Losing control of the airwaves is a standard indicator that a government has completely lost control of the country.


This is one way out, I suppose.

Well, Maliki just lost the entire station.



GravatarAlmost as good as "Superduperman" was the Goodman Beaver story "Goodman Meets S*perm*n" where Supes is an embittered hermit tired of people trying to get him to save the world. I esp. like it when Clark Kent opens a bottle of beer by popping the cap in his ear...

The great thing about "Superduperman" is the Wood art. There are several panels where Wood is almost too good and you start imagining how great the "real" Superman could have been with Wood at the helm...

Gravatar"We'll obviously try to control them as much as we can, but when they (kill) more than 150 people in bombings, they have the right to speak," said Bassam al Husseini, one of Maliki's top advisers. "What are we going to do? We can't stop this. It's too hot right now."

Maliki ain't even tryin anymore. He's gathering his passport and sending his money to Swiss bank accounts right now.



GravatarSounds li--

Fuck off. Take your sock puppet with you.

GravatarSpeaking of Harvey Kurtzman and Wally Wood -- I think their supreme moment -- even better than Superduperman VS Capt Marbles -- was the Flash Gordon parody.

"Hey kid -- your shoelace is untied."

With art that looked just like Alex Raymond but almost better.

You look at those early Mad things and they just blow the stereotype of the 50s -- "the long sleep of the Eisenhower years" -- into little orzo sized bits.

The government is Shiite dominated and Sadr is a Shiite. It was an illusion that they could ever control him. If we left right now, the Sunni's would mop up the Shiite militias and take out the ha ha 'democratically' elected government. The Sunnis think the Shiite militias and the army is a bunch of punks anyways, and they are right. It is utterly fucking amazing that the idiots in the administration could not have foreseen this.

GravatarHoly crap! They even have Eric Stanton in here!

Usually, no one has heard of him because he did bondage work. However, the weird thing is that Steve Ditko, the super-objectivist, worked in the same design studio with Stanton. Some cognoscenti believed that Ditko penciled (or inked) some of Stanton's works. Stanton's early work looks suspiciously like Ditko's.

Nah, the stupid guy sobers up. Trolls are simply people who are desperate for any sort of attention.

They don't have much in the way of social skills, and feel too insecure to post in places where their contributions can be valued. Like I said, they value attention, any kind of attention at all, even insults or negative attention. After all, at least they're being noticed when they're being insulted.

Pouring insults on them just makes them feel better, so I don't mind if people play with trolls. At least both sides are getting something out of it. To really fuck with a troll's mind you shut him out completely, the way you'd shut out a two-year old throwing a tantrum to get what he wants.



Gravatarmany Conservatives just cannot bring themselves to support a party that wants to allow our country to be overrun by a neverending brown tide of dirty Mexicans.

Representative Tom Tacredo agrees.
"People have to understand what we're talking about here. The president of the United States is an internationalist," said Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. "He is going to do what he can to create a place where the idea of America is just that – it's an idea. It's not an actual place defined by borders. I mean this is where this guy is really going."

Tancredo lashed out at the White House's lack of action in securing U.S. borders, and said efforts to merge the U.S. with both Mexico and Canada is not a fantasy.

"I know this is dramatic – or maybe somebody would say overly dramatic – but I'm telling you, that everything I see leads me to believe that this whole idea of the North American Union, it's not something that just is written about by right-wing fringe kooks. It is something in the head of the president of the United States, the president of Mexico, I think the prime minister of Canada buys into it. ...
This cannot be allowed to continue. While we need to fight against terrorism, and terrorism is certainly a horrible threat to the United States of America, the real threat is and always has been Mexico. Mexicans are upset that they lost the Mexican-American War and they are trying to get their territory back. I mean, they practically have it back already, they are quickly becoming the majority population in the areas taken by the Gadsden Purchase. And what happens when they are the majority, overwhelmingly the majority?

Bad days for America.

GravatarI interviewed Denny Oneill -- Ditko's collaborator/editor on all sorts of things -- sometime in the early 70s and he told me that Ditko, as a person, was essentially Travis Bickle.

Lived in an unfurnished room in Times Square, haunted porno palaces, the whole deal.

He has refused to do any interviews or be photographed since the mid-1960's. There was a video put out about 15 years ago called "Masters of Comic Book Art" which featured on camera interviews with various artists and writers, except for Ditko. For his segment, he read an essay that he had written, while the camera panned over some of his artwork.

Gravataran Associated Press analysis suggests that big oil companies have been crimping supplies in subtler ways across the country for years. And tighter supplies tend to drive up prices.

The analysis, based on data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, indicates that the industry slacked off supplying oil and gasoline during the prolonged price boom between early 1999 and last summer, when prices began to fall.


Surprise, surprise. Now even AP is saying it.


GravatarJT - yes, and it's just nutty conspiracy theory to note the precipitous price drop running up to the elections. All just a big coinkidink.


GravatarSurprise, surprise. Now even AP is saying it.

Business in America as usual: fire more workers, produce less product, charge more for it, CEOs and boards make bigger bucks, and consumers lose.

GravatarI was not aware that Mickey D's gave people so much time off. And yet this is how unfunny parody troll spends his time. Others are here chatting with friends - he's here because he can't control his sick urges. It's sad, really.

Actually Goldman Sachs dumped billions in oil futures which was bought up by the government =)

And in the meantime, the drug companies are gearing up to fend off any attempt to "allow" the Medicare to negotiate for lower prices. That should be fun to watch. A reprise of Harry and Louise perhaps.

Of course, they've also been letting their facilities fall into disrepair, while raking in their staggering profits. That BP pipeline disaster in Alaska this past summer was an obscenity.

I am really coming to the belief it is not simply profit motive. I always harp on the fact that if people had a guarantee of basic health care in some form, it would open up the flood gates to innovation, entrepreneurship and other benefits to the country. Lately I am of the mind that some of the covetousness shown by the corps is to prevent the average worker having a level playing field. Hold the health card over their head and they stay quiet and in place. Which is odd since the corps all cry about the cost of health care.

Do you mean that 231 years after the American Revolution, we're still dealing with people who see themselves as royalty and the rest of us as serfs?

Lately more so.

Capitalism, in the end, is self defeating.
